The Thunder Child: Collectibles
As soon as the genre of the comic book became popular - with the creation of recognizable, brightly costumed super heroes, companies began producing collectibles to entice the comic book fan. These first collectibles were aimed at children rather than adults, but it has been many decades since comic books were aimed at children. Pick up any book today and the action is as violent as it ever was, but it's also dark, cynical...and costs over two dollars a piece. With a more affluent buying public, more sophisticated collectibles were offered. Below is a selection of "cold cast" porcelain statues and other items from the 1990s. They are "out of print" but can still be purchased at Amazon.com (use a link to the right, type in DC Direct in the search box), in comic shops or on Ebay. (Caveat emptor.) Superman is the ultimate science fiction hero.

Batman and Robin also guest-starred on the Superman radio show during the 1940s, although they never managed to get a series of their own. They also teamed up for a while in World's Finest Comics.
